What's real right now
Backd is being switched on in stages. This page reads the same switch the site runs on, so it's always current.
Today
Real-money backing is on. A backed call is a real position, bought with your own money from your own wallet through Polymarket's order book. Anyone can check it against their own Polymarket account. This is still the private beta, so the banner at the top of every page asks you to report anything odd.

What comes next
Rows marked Live move real money today; rows marked Coming soon don’t yet. One-tap orders arrive when Polymarket enables session signers for Backd. Until then your own wallet signs each order, which is the same thing with one more tap. Combos with money wait on Polymarket enabling combo pricing for Backd. Referral shares and rank rebates are tracked, not paid, for now; if payouts are switched on we'll say so here.
